Get Outraged And Get Active About Internet Censorship

Paul Joseph Watson and Kurt Nimmo
Infowars
August 5, 2008

In response to increasing flagrant attempts to censor political websites, including Infowars and Prison Planet, not in Communist China, but in the U.S. and the UK, we are running a special contest with a top prize of $5,000 in order to encourage people to get active and educate others about the growing threats to Internet freedom.




Paul Watson on Alex Jones: England Censors Prison Planet and Infowars
Part 2 Part 3 Part 4

As we reported yesterday, major transportation hubs like St. Pancras International, as well as libraries, big businesses, hospitals and other public outlets that offer wi-fi Internet, are blacklisting alternative news websites and making them completely inaccessible to their users.

On weekly basis we receive e mails from across the US and the UK from people who have attempted to visit our websites yet found them to be blocked by filtration software that lists them as “hate” or “violence”.

This precedent is merely the first indication of what is planned for the Internet over the next 5-10 years, with the traditional web becoming little more than a vast spy database that catalogues people’s every activity and bombards them with commercials, while those who comply with centralized control and regulation of content will be free to enjoy the new super-fast Internet 2, where DVD quality movies can be downloaded in seconds, but at the cost of the Internet losing its role as the last true outpost of freedom of speech.

The necessity to warn people of this agenda is no more pressing than now, and this is why we are launching a contest to create the most powerful video presentation detailing the growing cancer of Internet censorship.

Using the audio of Alex’s rant at approximately eight minutes into the second hour of the Alex Jones Show on Monday, August 4, this contest requires you create a video documenting the censorship of Prison Planet, Infowars, TruthNews, the Jones Report and other non-corporatized, alternative media websites. The video must be under 10 minutes and be posted on YouTube and a secondary video venue on the internet. Contest deadline is the 19th of August. Contest videos will also be cross-posted on Prison Planet and Infowars.

First Prize: $5,000

Second Prize: $1,000

Third Prize: $500

We are also running three other contests in a similar vein with additional prizes.

BEST TRUTH RISING TRAILER

Using video clips from Alex Jones’ latest documentary, Truth Rising: The 9/11 Chronicles, remix a new trailer for the documentary. This video must be posted by Sunday evening, August 10, and the winner will be declared Monday, August 11, during Alex’s show.

Winner of Truth Rising trailer contest will receive $1,000.

NEW DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE ESSAY CONTEST

Like the original U.S. Declaration of Independence, the New Declaration of Independence will assert the right of the people to oppose tyrannical, oppressive government, and once again declare the right of all sovereign individuals to pursue “Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

Winner of the New Declaration of Independence will receive $2,000.

CRIMES OF THE NWO BILL OF PARTICULARS ESSAY CONTEST

In the third section of the original Declaration of Independence, there is a bill of particulars against the rule of George III, such as the imposition of standing armies among the people, taxation without representation, and obstruction of justice, etc. Our Bill of Particulars will charge the NWO with additional crimes against the people, thus establishing the global elite has no right to rule over us.

Winner of the Bill of Particulars Contest will receive $1,000.

What other news sites are they referring to here?

Infowars.com and prisonplanet.com have been blocked in the UK There is Brit on the Alex Jones show stating this as well as his own site being blocked.
My knowlege is still in the larve stage on this as to how many sites are literally being blocked. It seems the non main stream corporate media
is being targeted.

I posted this over at HC and was attacked for being a spammer? I'm like, i have nothing to to with any Damn contest!!! I don't want our
internet restricted to cable TV Like crap!!!!! I was floored. Still am. No hidden agendas here guys , just a heads up.
There was as congressional hearing on cspan the other evening regarding complaints from comcast internet subscibers, as to having they're P2P activity
blocked for the greater good of bandwidth. They admitted it, and guess what the FCC's the new sherriff in town.

There it is.

 

[crwnedblasphemy]

I didn't take it as spam...Lets face it....the way everything, and I mean everything is run in high dollar society and paid off politics is trying to make us a dumb society. Dude, we live in the matrix and it is so clear, but most would not want to take the red pill, but rather live out their lives playing the game of turning the other way to these issues. Look at how much they first started bending the Constitution, and now they full on break but nothing is done.

 

[headlessdeadguy]

Law Professor: Counter Terrorism Czar Told Me There Is Going To Be An i-9/11 And An i-Patriot Act

Steve Watson
Infowars.net
Tuesday, August 5, 2008

Amazing revelations have emerged concerning already existing government plans to overhaul the way the internet functions in order to apply much greater restrictions and control over the web.




Lessig also revealed there is already in existence a cyber equivalent of the Patriot Act waiting for a cyber terrorism event in order to implement its provisions.

Lawrence Lessig, a respected Law Professor from Stanford University told an audience at this years Fortune’s Brainstorm Tech conference in Half Moon Bay, California, that “There’s going to be an i-9/11 event” which will act as a catalyst for a radical reworking of the law pertaining to the internet.

Lessig also revealed that he had learned, during a dinner with former government Counter Terrorism Czar Richard Clarke, that there is already in existence a cyber equivalent of the Patriot Act, an “i-Patriot Act” if you will, and that the Justice Department is waiting for a cyber terrorism event in order to implement its provisions.

During a group panel segment titled “2018: Life on the Net”, Lessig stated:

There’s going to be an i-9/11 event. Which doesn’t necessarily mean an Al Qaeda attack, it means an event where the instability or the insecurity of the internet becomes manifest during a malicious event which then inspires the government into a response. You’ve got to remember that after 9/11 the government drew up the Patriot Act within 20 days and it was passed.

The Patriot Act is huge and I remember someone asking a Justice Department official how did they write such a large statute so quickly, and of course the answer was that it has been sitting in the drawers of the Justice Department for the last 20 years waiting for the event where they would pull it out.

Of course, the Patriot Act is filled with all sorts of insanity about changing the way civil rights are protected, or not protected in this instance. So I was having dinner with Richard Clarke and I asked him if there is an equivalent, is there an i-Patriot Act just sitting waiting for some substantial event as an excuse to radically change the way the internet works. He said “of course there is”.

Watch Lessig reveal the details at 4.30 into the following video:


Lessig is the founder of Stanford Law School’s Center for Internet and Society. He is founding board member of Creative Commons and is a board member of the Electronic Frontier Foundation and of the Software Freedom Law Center. He is best known as a proponent of reduced legal restrictions on copyright, trademark and radio frequency spectrum, particularly in technology applications.

These are clearly not the ravings of some paranoid cyber geek.





The Patriot Act, as well as its lesser known follow up the Domestic Security Enhancement Act 2003, also known as USA Patriot Act II, have been universally decried by civil libertarians and Constitutional scholars from across the political spectrum. They have stripped back basic rights and handed what have been described by even the most moderate critics as “dictatorial control” over to the president and the federal government.

Many believed that the legislation was a response to the attacks of 9/11, but the reality was that the Patriot Act was prepared way in advance of 9/11 and it sat dormant, awaiting an event to justify its implementation.

In the days after the attacks it was passed in the House by a majority of 357 to 66. It passed the Senate by 98 to 1. Congressman Ron Paul (R-Tex) told the Washington Times that no member of Congress was even allowed to read the legislation.

Now we discover that exactly the same freedom restricting legislation has already been prepared for the cyber world.

An i-9/11, as described by Lawrence Lessig, would provide the perfect pretext to implement such restrictions in one swift motion, as well as provide the justification for relegating and eliminating specific content and information on the web.





Such an event could come in the form of a major viral attack, the hacking of a major city’s security or transport systems, or some other vital systems, or a combination of all of these things. Considering the amount of unanswered questions regarding 9/11 and all the indications that it was a covert false flag operation, it isn’t hard to imagine such an event being played out in the cyber world.

However, regardless of any i-9/11 or i-Patriot Act, there is already a coordinated effort to stem the reach and influence of the internet.

We have tirelessly warned of this general movement to restrict, censor, control and eventually completely shut down the internet as we know it, thereby killing the last real vestige of free speech in the world today and eliminating the greatest communication and information tool ever conceived.

Our governments have reams of legislation penned to put clamps on the web as we know it. Legislation such as the PRO-IP Act of 2007: H.R. 4279, that would create an IP czar at the Department of Justice and the Intellectual Property Enforcement Act of 2007: S. 522, which would create an entire ‘Intellectual Property Enforcement Network’. These are just two examples.

In addition, we have already seen how the major corporate websites and social networks are decentralizing and coming together to implement overarching identification, verification and access systems that have been described by Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg as “the beginning of a movement and the beginning of an industry.”

Some of these major tech companies have already joined efforts in projects such as the Information Card Foundation, which has proposed the creation of a system of internet ID cards that will be required for internet access. Of course, such a system would give those involved the ability to track and control user activity much more effectively. This is just one example.

In addition, as we reported yesterday, major transportation hubs like St. Pancras International, as well as libraries, big businesses, hospitals and other public outlets that offer wi-fi Internet, are blacklisting alternative news websites and making them completely inaccessible to their users.

These precedents are merely the first indication of what is planned for the Internet over the next 5-10 years, with the traditional web becoming little more than a vast spy database that catalogues people’s every activity and bombards them with commercials, while those who comply with centralized control and regulation of content will be free to enjoy the new super-fast Internet 2.

We must speak out about this rampant move to implement strict control mechanisms on the web NOW before it is too late, before the spine of the free internet is broken and its body essentially becomes paralyzed beyond repair.
